By adopting the new provisions, the Council will enable
tighter control of businesses performing cosmetic
piercing and semi-permanent skin-colouring. This will
ensure that they maintain high standards of public
health and safety, therefore contributing to a safer and
healthy North Norfolk.

piercing and semi-permanent skin–colouring and
